   Plays aggressive and unselfish basketball... Very positive attitude... Good distributor... Doesn't turn the ball over... Very good getting layups... Makes no mistake from the charity stripe... Has really improved his often inconsistent outside shot... Average scorer at best... Dribbles too much sometimes... Doesn't take many risks... Has lost some athleticism and hurts his team defensively now.
